Do you know it,
The feeling of life over eons?

I have watched you
Wanted you
Held you
Laid with you.

But you are not mine.

These sweet words mean nothing
Your heart belongs to another.
The Angel
The shadow in your dreams.
His eyes haunt you
His voice echoes
Trying to reach a demon long lost.
The God of Death and his Angelic Soldier,
Neither of Ethereal matter
But enough to complete one another.

I had no place.

When your other half died,
The Stoic Angel's wings torn
I could not fill the gap,
That pocket of existence.

But cycles turn
And we met again and again.
That sweet hello, the sad goodbye.
You could not see him
But you knew him.

Your soul resonated this.
I would live
You would live
He would live.

And you would search
Across lives
Across eons
For him.

And I am nothing so divine,
A mere spectator in this cruel game.
Hide and seek
Only he means not to hide,
And you not meant to seek.

On the street, on the coast
"Have I seen you before?"
Your voice was always sweet.

Every life we meet again
Behind your eyes you hear
His call sounds only to you.

What crime have I committed,
Keeping me from your truest gaze?
What must I repent to gain your hand?

I don't ask that you forget,
Only that you cease.
This search has dragged far too long.
Your heart aches as mine does.
You for him
And mine for you.

Cycles will turn and life be reborn
But for once let me hold you,
You as you are.
Let him rest in memory.
For at least one lifetime…

Be with me.
Entirely.
Completely.
Mine.
